Attention to those who turn the steering wheel all the way: If you hear that sound, the cost is at your door.

6 STEERING WHERE IT IS Another mistake made is “dry steering”. Turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is completely stationary and the tires are stuck to the asphalt wears down the surface (base) of the tires in contact with the ground like sandpaper and puts 5 times more load on the front team parts (tie ends, ball joints) than when maneuvering in motion. As much as possible, get used to turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is moving, even if it is very slow (at the speed of an ant). If you absolutely must turn while stopped, take your foot off the brake slightly to allow the vehicle to roll. This will break the friction resistance of the tires and relax the steering box. The steering wheel is the part of your vehicle that you use the most; Being gentle with it will save you from searching for a “steering gear” in industrial corners.
